Danny is a retired miner in poor health who directs the Grimley Colliery Band, the pride of the small British town of Grimley.

But as news spreads of the local coal mine closing down, the townsfolk don't have music on their minds. In a city already suffering an economic downturn, this is just short of a death sentence.
